Is my library account number the same as my student number? How can I get my personal password?
The account number used to log into the library system is the barcode number found on your student ID card. When logging in for the first time, your default password is the last four digits of the phone number you registered with the library. You can change your password after logging in. If you encounter any issues, please call extension #255 for assistance.

How do I recommend books for the library to purchase?
Please use the Book Recommendation System. Before submitting a recommendation, be sure to check the iPAC system to confirm that the library does not already own the book.

What should I do if I can’t find the book I want to borrow?
First, search for the book using the OPAC system:

1. If all copies are checked out, you may place a reservation. You’ll be notified when the book is returned, and you can then check it out at the circulation desk.
2. If the book is listed as “in catalog” but not yet shelved, you may place a request and pick it up at the circulation desk within four days once it becomes available.
3. If the book appears to be on the shelf but cannot be found, please report it at the information counter by filling out a Missing Book Report. Some books may be temporarily misplaced—try checking again later.

What should I do if the book I borrowed goes missing?
Please report to the information counter and consult the staff regarding the necessary procedures for compensation or replacement.

Can I borrow books from other universities?
Yes. We have an Interlibrary Loan Agreement with National Cheng Kung University (NCKU). NUTN students may borrow an NCKU library card to access their resources (loan period: 14 days). The card must be returned only after all borrowed books are returned and any fines are cleared.
We also have similar agreements with other education-focused universities. You may borrow interlibrary cards from the information counter.

Can people outside of NUTN borrow books?
Visitors can exchange their ID card for a temporary library pass to access the library, but they are not allowed to borrow books. Only alumni may apply for a library card by presenting a diploma certificate.

How can I apply for an alumni library card?
Bring your diploma certificate and a photo to the library’s information counter. Then, go to the Accounting Office to pay a NT$1,000 processing fee. The alumni card is valid for two years per application.

How do I renew a borrowed book?
If the loan period has not expired and no one has reserved the book, you may renew it. Renewal can be done in person by bringing the book and your ID to the library, or online through the library’s website.

Why are some books not available for loan?
Books labeled with an “R” are reference materials or special collections (e.g., encyclopedias, dictionaries, statistical reports, almanacs, essays, etc.). These are for in-library use only to ensure access for all readers. However, if duplicate copies exist, those may be available for loan.
